Nicole & Kate Can Relate Nicole Baldinu and Kate Erickson

We shared a little heads up in our last episode, and today we’re going to dive deep into what’s next for Nicole and Kate!

In this episode we’ll look back at the last two and a half years of NKCR - all the way from Nicole’s pitch to Kate to start to podcast in mid-2021, to how some of our first episodes were a bit rocky, and finally, why we’ve decided to take a hiatus - at least for now…

Saying no isn’t always easy. You want to be helpful, you want to be supportive, and you of course don’t want to feel that awkwardness about declining when someone asks something of you. But at what cost?

In this episode we’ll share our own personal experiences with saying no and why we think it’s one of the most empowering - and respectful - things you can do.
